Should I finish watching The Descendents?

Okay, so I was feeling reeeally sorry for myself (translation: moderate Pity Party) because I got cancer for Christmas (translation: precancerous tumor, totally removed, prognosis excellent) and decided to cheer myself up by watching a movie.

Being an idiot (according to the InterWebz the frontal lobe that was removed may have had something to do with judgement) I started watching The Descendents, which, for those of you who haven't seen it, is apparently all about a family watching the wife/mother die tragically. Perhaps not my best movie choice.

I'm about an hour in, and I'm starting to wonder if this movie is ever going to take one of those "life affirming, feel good" turns that makes you all glad to be alive, or if it's just going to make me sink further into depression and self-pity.

I watched half of it one day while lo took his nap. I didn't care at the time that I missed the second half. I caught it on another day right where I left off. I was so glad I finished it. I thought it was a great movie. I wouldn't call it life affirming but it shows that life goes on.
